Makeup artist Pat McGrath designed two very different but very sparkly eye looks: an earthy khaki and an electric, textured teal that she appropriately called "shocking and striking." The off-the-face hair and delicately highlighted skin countered the ultraurban eye looks, even the one McGrath described as "crazy blue latex" (yup, latex).

To whip up the dazzling blue look, McGrath outlined graphic shapes with a bright blue eyeliner pencil on the upper lids, then filled in the area with theatrical latex makeup paint: "Oh, it's real latex paint," McGrath emphasized. Then, she was patient. "You have to wait for the latex to dry, but not get too dry, and then you push pigment into it." She layered blue and lavender glitter on top of the paint. "Gradually, the latex swallows the pigment, so you get that ultraglassy feel," McGrath explained. If liquid latex isn't necessarily your bag, you can sweep a shadow (we love Dior 5 Couleurs shadow palette in Carré Bleu, available this fall) into a soaring shape without the plastic feeling.

Green and gold shadows (from Dior 5 Couleurs shadow palette in Pied de Poule, available in August) were blended into a shimmery khaki, which makeup artists brushed all over the lids up to the brow bone. The finishing touch: Green mascara.

When describing the sculpturally slick look he created, hairstylist Guido Palau explained, "It's not a precious idea of the Dior woman. [Designer Raf Simons] wanted the hair to feel very urban." To make a sleek, understated look (with a bit of drama), Palau prepped the top of the hair with Redken Satinwear 02 Prepping Blow-Dry Lotion and blow-dried it smooth, but left the length of hair bare and natural so that it spilled down the back with a hint of texture.
